Cara Lodge

Cara Lodge is unquestionably Guyana’s premier heritage hotel, a magnificently preserved Victorian colonial mansion dating from the 1840s that has been transformed into a refined 34-room hotel in the heart of Georgetown’s historic Cummingsburg district. The property has hosted some of the world’s most distinguished visitors over its long history, including King Edward VIII, President Jimmy Carter, Prince Charles, and Mick Jagger, and was named Hotel of the Year by the Tourism and Hospitality Association of Guyana in 2025 for the third time in five years. Rooms are individually crafted with locally made furniture from Kufa rainforest vine, sustainably sourced in collaboration with the hotel’s environmental commitments, and all overlook either the lush garden or the charming interior courtyard. The hotel’s landmark restaurant, The Bottle, serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a colonial setting celebrated for its quality and ambiance, while the garden terrace provides a serene outdoor dining option. Solar energy powers 25 percent of the hotel’s electricity needs. Just blocks from St. George’s Cathedral and within walking distance of Georgetown’s National Museum, Cara Lodge offers the most complete and historically significant hotel experience in the Guyanese capital at a price that remains within the mid-budget range.
